I am pleased to announce that Jara Anderson has agreed to serve as the Interim Head Librarian of the Zalk Veterinary Medical Library starting November 1st. Rae Thudium is still in her role until December 11th so Jara will have some time to onboard and familiarize herself with the role prior to Rae’s departure to the University of Pennsylvania. Jara has been serving as the Agriculture, Natural Resources & Extension Librarian since December 1, 2023 and prior to that she was the LIS Sr. at the Veterinary Medical Library. I appreciate Jara’s willingness along with Jeannette Pierce’s and Rhonda Whithaus’ partnership with me to help support the Vet Med Library during this time of transition. The Health Sciences Library Information Services team will also be helping Jara in her role as interim to alleviate some of the pressure so she can continue to make the wonderful progress she had started in her role as the Agriculture and Extension Librarian. We are working to finalize a job description in anticipation of posting the permanent position later this fall. More details are forthcoming about that. I am grateful for everyone’s support as we continue to keep the Vet Med Library moving forward.
